They probably did that because they want you to buy the bundle in early april instead.

Funny, I was the one who complained that the doughnut and Lazarevic soldier hats are overpriced and ND/ Sony changed the prices to match the US prices. It's YOUR turn now US! We here in the EU got all oddball DLC for 0.49 Cents!

Re: What are your thoughts on microtransactions?

Something that belongs to F2P games (which already is the standard on the PC for a decade) .... ow wait Uncharted 3 already had it before it became F2P .

Personally I just find it cheap. I paid for the game so why are there things in the game already that I need to pay for? It is like pre DLC, but now you for sure know that you got screwed.

Also if I am not mistaking it also is a waste of bandwith. The items are actually already up and running in your game, but you can't acces them because they are locked by coding. Microtransactions better could be implented as DLC, where it first need to be downloaded. The extra bandwith that could be saved can usefully be used for: better AA , splitscreen , gameplay etc. to make the game better , but unfortunately devs don't care .
